During the event, you’ll have a chance to purchase artwork by local artists. You can choose to fill out a ballot (or more than one) for a chance to purchase a “mystery box” for $100. Each box contains an original artwork donated by one of over 50 professional artists. Don’t worry if your ballot isn’t drawn, maybe you’ll see a work you’d like to own in the one-night-only exhibition of works by our generous donor artists!
Tickets are available online or in-person for $75 each. Funds from this event support our programs, including our important Artists’ Rights Fees program, to support the artists who share their works in the SJAC galleries. A $25 tax receipt can be issued for each $75 ticket.

Theresa Malenfant & Scott Medford
2024-04-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Steamers Lobster Company, 110 Water Street, Saint John, New Brunswick, E2l 5g1, Canada
ECMA winner Theresa Malenfant and renowned guitarist Scott Medford have become one of the most popular blues duo acts in the Atlantic Provinces. They have been performing together in a band for years, but decided to work as a duo only 6 years ago. In that short time they managed to win second place in an International Blues Challenge (IBC) held in Memphis Tennessee.
Theresa and Scott have an intuitive way of working with each other, and the mutual respect and admiration for the other’s abilities is evident from their stage performance.
Theresa Malenfant has earned the nickname “Queen Bee of the Blues”. When you hear the first note you’ll know why. And she personally selected Scott Medford to be her guitarist. That speaks volumes about his level of playing.
An incredible evening of music you’ll not soon forget!
